Then now a brief explanation of the solstice:The solstice is the event where the sun, seen from the earth, reaches the northernmost or southernmost position. As the sun is moving towards the Tropic of Cancer, the days on the northern hemisphere become longer and on the southern hemisphere are shorter. When the sun moves apparently to the Tropic of Capricorn, this is the other way.The solstice is the moment when the sun is exactly above the tropics. There is be a summer and winter solstice. In the northern hemisphere they occur in June (usually June 21) and in December (usually December 21), in the southern hemisphere, that is the other way around.

Why this explanation? Because Catherine Knutsson from The Small Bird Workshop, The Sunlight of Solstice is running as a KAL on Ravelry (click to go to the pattern). I had still a skein Fino from Manos del Uruguay in my stash with a golden color and I thought that would be perfect for it.

Be kind to Mother Nature

The beauty of nature

Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly! ~Author Unknown

A fairy ...

When you feel a little breeze, or notice a tickle, or need to sneeze or find your things are rearranged or something seems a little strange, look very closely and you might see sparkly dust, or a buzzing bee: Behold! a fairy with gossamer wings has come to show you wonderful things.
